Complaints about Windows 10 keep rolling in, but so far none appears to have stuck. The latest brouhaha is over certain privacy settings. Windows 10 gives users many options to disable certain data-gathering and reporting features, but it appears that some communications to Microsoft servers still slip through. So far, there doesn’t seem to be anything shifty or harmless about those interactions — but to some users, they’re unsettling. Why is Microsoft doing that? Another thing that just didn’t seem to make sense was Wi-Fi Sense.
The problem with Wi-Fi Sense has nothing to do with who Microsoft will WILLINGLY share login information with...
The issue is that you are storing login information for MY network on a server NOT on my network.
Data breaches happen. I want to know that if I choose not to share a network, not only are you not giving out my security information, but YOU AREN'T COLLECTING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
So far I do NOT like 10! It slows everything down even my solitaire game and the blue tooth keyboard on my windows tablet no longer works. May be a work around but I haven't found it yet!

Otherwise, no Windows 10. Period.
